Annual Gathering of Eagles
on the Schooner Thomas E Lannon

Get ready to set sail!  September 20, 2009

sch8.jpg (20209 bytes)Picture yourself relaxing on the deck of this beautiful 65 foot schooner as she sails out of Gloucester harbor on a light southwesterly breeze. Join us for a two-hour sail and get a taste for what it was like to sail on a fishing schooner a hundred years ago. Help the crew raise the sails, or just sit back and take in the sights and sounds of Gloucester's coastline. Our wooden ship is only five years old, but was built along the lines of a traditional 1903 schooner.

The Lannon sails promptly at 5:00pm from the Seven Seas Wharf, adjacent to the Gloucester House Restaurant, Rogers Street, Gloucester

$20/person

Do you know any Eagle Scouts?

The rank of Eagle Scout is a life-long achievement, distinguishing a man throughout his lifetime. In this spirit, The Yankee Clipper Council has formed this Association of Eagle Scouts.

The purpose the Eagle Scout Association is to bring Eagle Scouts together in a social setting in order to:

  • celebrate the achievement

  • provide adult Eagle Scouts with opportunities for their own fellowship, association, and networking

  • heighten the awareness of the Eagle ranks significance and Scouting's positive impact in the community

Please take a moment to ask yourself who amidst your circles is an Eagle Scout. Then let us know.
